Very Cool!

But I wonder if the RCX servers any useful purpose? Mechanically, it looks like the system is all a single gear-chain (well, somewhat indirectly). So the RCX would only serve to adjust motor speeds. There’s some explanation, further into the discussion, about experimenting with touch sensors and thread tensioners, but it seems that the experiments didn’t work out...

Hmm, well. The RCX would help anchor the whole setup. But does the RCX really weigh much more than a battery pack?
